Abstract:
IN 1908 Russell, referred to by Watson1, reported that silage contained "in addition to ammonia, amines such as pentamethylene diamine, betaine, adenine, and other unidentified purin bodies". Barnett, in his book about silage fermentation2, expressed the opinion that putrescine and cadaverine would be present in very poor silages as products of putrefaction. © 1961 Nature Publishing Group.
